Meta Ridley first appeared in ''[[Metroid Prime]]''. After being badly wounded by Samus in ''{{b|Metroid|game}}'', Ridley was revived by the Space Pirates using cybernetic technology. He was equipped with additional weapons, including a mouth beam, missiles and energy bombs. Samus first sees him while trying to escape the [[Frigate Orpheon]]. She quickly pursues him in her ship to the world of {{iw|metroidwiki|Tallon IV}}, but loses him. She briefly sees him in the {{iw|metroidwiki|Phendrana Drifts}}, but their final confrontation comes when Samus attempts to access the {{iw|metroidwiki|Impact Crater}}. Meta Ridley's weak points are his mouth and chest. Eventually, Meta Ridley's wings burn, so he battles Samus on the ground, and is still lethally fast.

Meta Ridley returns in ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}''. When the Space Pirates attack {{iw|metroidwiki|Norion}}, Samus sees Ridley wipe out several Galactic Federation Marines. He briefly harasses her as she goes through an exposed rail while in Morph Ball form. When she goes to activate a reactor, Meta Ridley pounces her and they begin a free fall battle down the reactor shaft. Again, Meta Ridley is defeated and Samus is saved at the last minute by fellow bounty hunter {{iw|metroidwiki|Rundas}}. Ridley, however, still survives. When Samus goes to the {{iw|metroidwiki|Pirate Homeworld}} to destroy the [[metroidwiki:Leviathan|Leviathan Seed]], a large living meteor that corrupts planets with {{iw|metroidwiki|Phazon}}, she finds that Ridley is guarding the core. He is now enhanced by Phazon and appears as {{iw|metroidwiki|Omega Ridley}}, | Meta Ridley returns in ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}''.

As with [[Ridley]], many of Meta Ridley's attacks are new in ''Brawl''; however, there are a couple attacks that are retained: In ''Metroid Prime'', one of the attacks that Ridley uses is shooting fireballs at Samus. The fireballs that Meta Ridley shoots in ''Brawl'' are designed similarly to how they are designed in ''Metroid Prime''. In ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', right in the middle of the fight between Samus and Ridley, Meta Ridley will grab Samus and try to perform a powerful attack. One of the attacks involves charging up a fireball and firing it at Samus. In ''Brawl'', Meta Ridley charging and firing his fireball is very similar to how he performed it in ''Metroid Prime 3'', | As with [[Ridley]], many of Meta Ridley's attacks are new in ''Brawl''; however, there are a couple attacks that are retained: In ''Metroid Prime'', one of the attacks that Ridley uses is shooting fireballs at Samus.

In this battle, he is attacking the ship as well and the player has 2 minutes to beat him, similar to the battle in ''Metroid Prime 3''. He has completely different moves from Ridley and the player has to jump whenever he hits the ship or the player could fall. He is later defeated and the massive amounts of Subspace Bombs explode, covering the island in Subspace, taking everything in it, including the remains of Meta Ridley, into the Subspace. [[Tabuu]], the leader of Subspace, revives Meta Ridley in [[The Great Maze]] to attack the heroes (oddly, Ridley and Meta Ridley each appear separately in The Great Maze), but is defeated once again, presumably leaving him dead. | ||
Trophy Stands appear frequently due to the limited time, even on easy difficulties, especially if the character is equipped with a strong Trophy Stand producing Sticker. | Trophy Stands appear frequently due to the limited time, even on easy difficulties, especially if the character is equipped with a strong Trophy Stand producing Sticker. | ||

|- | |- | ||
| Mega Fire Ball | | | Mega Fire Ball || A or Av || Meta Ridley flies from the left, then returns with his eyes glowing a fiery red. This signals that he is about to shoot a massive fireball with huge KO potential, even [[OHKO]]ing on Very Hard (depending on player's position) and Intense at low HP. It will hit anyone on the front of the Flyer, dealing up to 54%. Contact with Meta Ridley's beak will deal less knockback and damage as the fireball itself. This move is rarely used, but because of this, it can be thought of as a surprise attack. When controlled by a human he will instantly shoot the fireball without his eyes glowing. | ||
|- | |- | ||
| Falcon Flyer Slam | | | Falcon Flyer Slam || A< || Meta Ridley flies off the screen to the left, then attacks the Falcon Flyer, making it shake. Anyone standing on the Flyer will take damage (up to 32%). The left side swings beneath the blast zone, however every part of the attack (Meta Ridley's dive and the slam) launches the player away from the blast zone; this results in it only KOing players with intangibility (such as grabbing the ledge or dodging). It's best to jump as Meta Ridley flies away to evade the attack. When controlled by a human, he can only use this attack once. | ||
|- | |- | ||
| Swoop | | | Swoop || A> || Meta Ridley roars, and then quickly swoops over the Falcon Flyer, dealing high damage (up to 23% on the down swing, 47% along the length, 14% at the very end) . Again, jumping proves the best defense. When controlled by a human, he won't roar. | ||
|- | |- | ||
| Claw Sweep || Unusable || Meta Ridley flies off the screen to the left, then sweeps low with his claws. On the higher difficulties it can inflict high damage if all hits chain (even approaching 100%) but it has relatively low knockback. | | Claw Sweep || Unusable || Meta Ridley flies off the screen to the left, then sweeps low with his claws.

*Meta Ridley is considered to be very difficult to turn into a trophy, because of the time constraints during the fight, and because when idle he spends his time in the air off stage at low health, meaning if he is turned into a trophy when not performing an attack that puts him over the [[Falcon Flyer]], his trophy will fall off the stage and be unobtainable unless immediately grabbed in midair by the player. | *Meta Ridley is considered to be very difficult to turn into a trophy, because of the time constraints during the fight, and because when idle he spends his time in the air off stage at low health, meaning if he is turned into a trophy when not performing an attack that puts him over the [[Falcon Flyer]], his trophy will fall off the stage and be unobtainable unless immediately grabbed in midair by the player. | ||
